    Love your theory and my favorite song is We don’t talk about Bruno because you get a taste of many various family members personalities. Also Pepa and Felix’s chemistry is a relationship goal for me.

    Alma is 75 years old. During the end of "Dos Orugitas," do you think the swarm of butterflies was Pedro moving on?

    • @TheFangirlWatches
      @TheFangirlWatches  2 роки тому +5

      You know that's a good point, no one is really analyzing the butterfly scene! It's almost like Abuela's grief was being carried away, but with the whole issue of Pedro dying there, it does raise some more possibilities - especially with the candle being gone!

  • @moonchild4648
    @moonchild4648 2 роки тому +8

    I belive the magic is not explained because the characters themselves have no idea about how it actually works, the candle doesn't come with instructions, they just kinda rolled with it and guessed the rules as they went along; they probably have a lot of mysteries and even misconceptions about how it actually works.

      Here’s actually my ranking of the songs from Encanto:
      1. Surface pressure
      2. What else can I do?
      3. We don’t talk about Bruno
      4. Waiting on a miracle and Dos Oruguitas
      5. The family Madrigal
      6. All of you
      7. Columbia, mi Encanto

    I blame FNAF for the last derp! I love Surface pressure, especially as the older sister of the family and I’m so happy with Louisa’s design and I’m happy she’s so popular because I mean there are actual girls who look like that due to genetics or exercise or other means and even if it’s just girls who tend to be on the larger side but not necessarily buff it’s great for them to have a role model with a similar body type to look up to! My Manita (my little sister we’re both learning Spanish and constantly practice while speaking to each other so at this point we only call each other Manita or Hermana) constantly insists she has a similar figure, but I can’t comment as I have not seen her in person for a good while so it’s hard to say but she was ecstatic to see Louisa as she is. Personally I prefer Isabella but I think that has something to do with age and being the eldest biological sibling but the middle sister of you count the three of us. Plus flowers, plants, cacti (spicy plants) and the way she dyes her hair and clothes are just what I gravitate to, sadly I’m basically the anti Isabella of house plants. Garden? Yeah sure no problem I’ll be sure to plant mint nearby to deter animals (or at the very least goats learned in high school mint is good goat repellent and living on a farm I need that, not as much anymore but the neighbors have goats and I ain’t chancing it) but being that inside? Yeah it’s dead in a week because I forgot to water it. T~T

    • @TheFangirlWatches
      @TheFangirlWatches  2 роки тому +2

      YES! When I first saw Luisa I was a little like "oooh, she's a large lady, huh?" but after spending ten minutes with her on screen it was like "she is my new patron saint and I will fall on a sword to defend this beautiful soul!" If we're teaching people to fall in love with personalities over appearances, then let's start changing up what the female appearance is allowed to "acceptably" be!

    • @DawnzeenaMcGill
      @DawnzeenaMcGill 2 роки тому

      @@TheFangirlWatches sadly my first thought was expecting her to be male to female trans because of how society defines beauty and how women should look, even though I have a character in a book I was working on who was constantly mistaken as a male to female trans because she was buff and also tall, but because of how society deems what women should be I was expecting her to be trans and honestly I’d of been happy either way because we need more representation for both trans people and large and/or buff girls

    My personal theory on why mirabel didn't get her gift ia because everyone puts their hands on the candle before reciveing their gifts, but after mirabel touchs the candle she wipes her hands on her dress & therefore wiping away the magic. If u look carefully u can also see the when Antonio puts his hands on the candle he puts them striaght on the door without touching anything in beetween.

  • @nintendhoe767
    @nintendhoe767 2 роки тому +2

    Interesting theory, as always, and I totally agree that Mirabel will be the next keeper of the house and candle holder, but...... is there even a candle to hold anymore? Sure, we saw the house reanimate and even the whole town houses react to Mirabel touching the doorknob but we don't really see another candle after that. I dunno.
    Anyways, my favorite song in Encanto is What Else Can I Do? Isabela is my favorite character and I just knew she was misunderstood and was relieved when that amazing flower filled song came up! With clever lyrics, cool plants, and a cute sisterly bond to it!

    I always thought that the Mirabel doorknob became the successor to the Abuella candle cause the sparkles burst out from it during the restoration of the casita, but I forgot that the doorknob doesn't have those glowing butterfly marks like the candle. Not sure about it. Just wanna put this guess out here. x3
    Other than that, the song that I fell in love first was "All of You", the song sang during the rebuilding of the casita. =D

  • @Elven_Gamer
    @Elven_Gamer 2 роки тому

    "We Don't Talk About Bruno" is my favorite out of the whole soundtrack with a major factor being it's one of two times where Camilo actually gets to sing.
    And there absolutely HAS to be an Encanto series either being produced or in the talks of being produced. Main reason being because there is just so much going on in the movie with a multitude of characters in a family of 13 (did any one catch that fact yet?) that even people like myself who are very attentive towards movies and TV show can't quite grasp half the events going on or even whose who (of course not like everybody else mattered to me except for Camilo even though Luisa is great like you've said). My older sister has watched the movie like ten times already and STILL doesn't remember all of the characters names, the fact she has ADD makes it even WORSE.
    Even after the first viewing I was thinking to myself that the movie's feels a little too bloated with all the characters not getting the proper screen time they deserve and would fare better as a TV series. However, I don't know how a series would go now since the story starts off as a feature film. Because Disney's schtick when it comes to serializing popular movies into shows involves a transition from CGI into 2-D animation and it's never not a complete 180. They've done it with "Tangled" and "Big Hero 6". While the shows were good the change felt like being hit in the face with a brick, hard to recover and get used it but possible. I have a theory the reason why this is is rather interesting. CGI is cheaper but takes a lot of effort to make it look good, while 2-D animation is more expensive, and mistakes can either forgiven or slyly hidden with minimum effort.
    But regardless, I'd still it if they make TV series if only to get my Camilo dosage. Though it won't be as potent if Rhenzy Feliz (Camilo's VA) isn't in it I'll begrudgingly suffer through it without Rhenzy like I suffered watch Rescue Bots Academy lacking D.C. Douglas and Steve Blum.
    So sorry for ranting, just wanted to put my thoughts down. I've actually been watching you for years but haven't been keeping up as much because I've got problems to worry about. It's almost 3 in the morning and it's just so good to see you because you're like a very cool, kind, relatable nerdy neighbor to invite to dinner. Hope you and Kairi are doing well!
